Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hydraulic cylinder installation, and relates to a trunnion seat component which is convenient for replacing the hydraulic cylinder. Background Art

[0002] Currently, large and medium-sized domestic steel mills frequently need to change production specifications during the rolling process. The rolling mill's rack replacement system utilizes a hydraulic system, with hydraulic cylinders driving the rack forward and backward. Over time, the hydraulic cylinder's piston seal can become damaged and leak oil. When the oil leakage becomes severe, the rack cannot be pulled, requiring shutdown and replacement of the hydraulic cylinder. The original design of this hydraulic cylinder did not allow for replacement, and during the replacement process, the trunnion interfered with the base and bracket, leading to the following issues:

[0003] ① The hydraulic cylinder is located on the trunnion seat, and the trunnions on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder are fixed with shaft sleeves. The total length of the hydraulic cylinder is 5.3m, which is much longer than the distance between the trunnion and the bracket. Because the original trunnion seat of the hydraulic cylinder is high, the hydraulic cylinder will inevitably be blocked by the bracket if it wants to withdraw. If it wants to avoid the bracket, the height of the trunnion seat will interfere, creating a dilemma.

[0004] ② During the replacement process, the hydraulic cylinder needs to be lifted by two overhead cranes and turned over multiple times under the bracket. Maintenance personnel are easily injured by heavy objects when repeatedly tying the lifting belt.

[0005] Replacing the hydraulic cylinder requires 20 hours of work and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0006] Therefore, without changing the existing structure of the hydraulic cylinder, it is necessary to provide a trunnion seat assembly that is convenient for replacing the hydraulic cylinder. Utility Model Content

[0035] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an ear shaft seat assembly that is convenient for replacing the hydraulic cylinder, the ear shaft seat assembly includes: a base 2, a pressure cover 1 and an ear shaft sleeve 3. Among them, the pressure cover 1 is located above the base 2, and the pressure cover 1 and the base 2 are detachably connected, such as by fixing the two together through a connecting piece (bolts 4, screws, etc.). A mounting hole 11 is horizontally provided on the pressure cover 1. The shape of the ear shaft sleeve 3 matches the shape of the mounting hole 11. The ear shaft sleeve 3 is located in the mounting hole 11, and it can be understood that the outer diameter of the ear shaft sleeve 3 matches the inner diameter of the mounting hole 11. The ear shaft sleeve 3 has an axial hole 31 for fixing the ear shaft on the hydraulic cylinder. Before installation, by using a plasma cutting machine (such as Figure 5 As shown), the original base is removed and then polished and trimmed to make it flush. During installation, place the base 2 at the location of the original ear shaft seat and weld it to fix it, then place the pressure cover 1 on the base 2, align one end of the mounting hole 11 on the pressure cover 1 and put it on the ear shaft on one side of the hydraulic cylinder, then use a hammer or other tools to pass the ear shaft sleeve 3 from the other end of the mounting hole 11 into the mounting hole 11, so that the ear shaft sleeve 3 is put on the ear shaft, and finally the pressure cover 1 and the base 2 are connected and fixed through the connecting piece. Follow the same operating steps to install the ear shaft on the other side of the hydraulic cylinder on another set of ear shaft seat assemblies. This application provides maintenance personnel with an extremely simple installation method. When replacing the hydraulic cylinder, you only need to remove the connecting piece to remove the pressure cover 1 (referring to moving it outward along the length direction of the ear shaft), and the safety factor and maintenance efficiency of the entire maintenance and emergency repair process are greatly guaranteed. It should be noted that the sum of the heights of the base 2 and the pressure cover 1 is the original ear shaft seat (as shown). Figure 5 to facilitate positioning of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 As shown, a first connecting hole 12 is vertically provided on the gland 1, and the first connecting hole 12 is located on one side or both sides of the mounting hole 11. Furthermore, the depth of the mounting hole 11 is not less than the length of the ear shaft sleeve 3.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a second connecting hole 22 is vertically provided on the base 2. The second connecting hole 22 is located on one side or both sides of the mounting hole 11. The second connecting hole 22 is arranged opposite to the first connecting hole 12 up and down. At the same time, the second connecting hole 22 has the same diameter as the first connecting hole 12. In this way, the gland 1 and the base 2 can be connected and fixed by inserting the connecting piece into the first connecting hole 12 and the second connecting hole 22 in sequence. Furthermore, a groove 21 is provided on the base 2, and a protrusion 13 matching the groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the gland 1. During installation, the gland 1 is placed on the base 2 so that the protrusion 13 on the gland 1 is located in the groove 21 on the base 2. Preferably, the base 2 on both sides of the groove 21 has different heights. Figure 2 The picture shows two left and right bosses, where the height of the left boss is lower than that of the right boss. This design is for the convenience of installation and removal. The depth of the groove 21 is less than or equal to the height of the protrusion 13. It should be noted that "less than" in this embodiment means slightly less than, for example, the depth of the groove 21 is 1 mm less than the height of the protrusion 13. This design is for the purpose of checking whether the bolt 4 is pressed into place. In other embodiments, the groove 21 is provided only on the base 2, and the pressure cover 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the lower end of the pressure cover 1 is directly inserted into the groove 21.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the trunnion seat assembly further includes a connecting piece. The connecting piece (such as a bolt 4, a screw, etc.) is used to connect the gland 1 and the base 2. It is understood that the length of the connecting piece is greater than the height of the gland 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 As shown, an annular boss 32 is provided at one end of the trunnion sleeve 3, so that the axial cross-section of the trunnion sleeve 3 is T-shaped. The annular boss 32 is used to prevent the trunnion sleeve 3 from axial movement within the mounting hole 11 on the gland 1, and also serves as a positioning function. Preferably, an oil filling hole is provided on the trunnion sleeve 3 for adding lubricating oil.
